Description-en: automatic generator of basic unit tests for a C/C++ library API
API Sanity Checker is an automatic generator of basic unit tests for a C/C++
library. It helps to quickly generate simple ("sanity" or "shallow" quality)
tests for every function in an API using their signatures, data type
definitions and relationships between functions straight from the library
header files ("Header-Driven Generation"). Each test case contains a function
call with reasonable (in most, but unfortunately not all, cases) input
parameters. The quality of generated tests allows one to check absence of
critical errors in simple use cases and can be greatly improved by involving of
highly reusable specialized types for the library.
.
The tool can execute generated tests and detect crashes, aborts, all kinds of
emitted signals, non-zero program return code, program hang‐ ing and
requirement failures (if specified). The tool can be considered as a tool for
out-of-box low-cost sanity checking of library API or as a test development
framework for initial generation of templates for advanced tests. Also it
supports universal Template2Code format of tests, splint specifications, random
test generation mode and other useful features.
